Hello all,
I got a pleasant surprise push update today and after going online to research before attempting to update, it seems that this 06/25/12 update may very well be ICS!
Anyways,
Can anyone give some tips on flashing when you are rooted and have CWM running? Attempting the OTA update failed and I'm sure it is because upon reboot, CWM loads and the update then is "interrupted".
I'm now attempting through Kies but doesn't look promising.
Any help with this? I did do a full CWM ROM backup prior to attempting this.
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks,
--mike

Thank you for the links...very informative and should have read them first.
However, I did take the time to do some research online before attempting this update and found that those with the Skyrocket did indeed install the ICS update. The second link above has me a bit confused because it emphasizes that it is not for the Skyrocket. Don't understand...
Any updates on this I may not be aware of?
Thanks again,

We have ics leaks. Nothing official as of yet.

Meant to redirect you since there were many people earlier that were saying they also had an update notice.
Thanks,
I guess it is still a waiting game. Damn, they screwed me up this evening. Update failed and couldn't load firmware. Took two hours to finally load a simple firmware to then restore to recent CWM backup.
They must have pissed off plenty with this crap...

Nope, I got the text and laughed. No need for a crappy ass stock firmware when we have official Rogers ICS all custom from Seanz, AOKP, and CM9.
I didn't bother to even try the update, there is no reason to. Waste of time for stock BS

+1 to that
Wasted of time is right! Seriously, why send a notification when it is not eve supported? On top of that, why show update on Kies as well only to find it simply will not install?
I have a highly modified phone with GB running just fine. Big mistake tonight to try this. I guess I was a bit too curious.
Anyways,
It took some time, but got it back exactly how it was. Would still attempt an ICS install though, as long as it is from a so-called "official" release. Any suggestions for the Skyrocket?
Thanks,

being on rogers we have to use kies for an update, i thought att had to use the update feature on the phone
Historically OTA is for small updates, Kies is for major updates. A lot of people here speak with so much authority with a dismissive tone on how ICS will be pushed out with OTA. Not sure why that is the case but it is looking very likely that Kies will be used for the update seeing how even the SGH-I777 got the update through Kies.

Yeah, but what's interesting is now that we've got the rogers ICS using kies, in About Phone, There's now an option to check for updates without kies! And you can also get Push Notifications about available updates!

Decided to check for updates and there finally appeared to be one so I started the download & it took about 10mins or less then it asked to install so I hit ok then it said it would restart the phone. I was excitedfor about 10 seconds until I noticed everything was still the same and it said no update was applied at this time... Was this an official update n if so is there a way to apply it without having to wait on the 24hr update timer?

Sorry to say but I don't know much users here who use the stock 2.1 Eclair unless they are returning their phones. As much as I know, everyone here hates how Samsung and AT&T leave their customers out in the cold for updates and any information on upcoming updates. Maybe someone else here will give you an answer hopefully.

got it thanks. its re-downloading now. i figure its updating to the old Build Number ECLAIR.UCJH7 because since i reset a few days back, getting rid of a rom I noticed it just says Build Number: ECLAIR
and my baseband version is I897UCJF6. used to be ucjh7
You must have been excited, seeing how you posted to XDA that there's an update before you knew what was what...

On a side note, the middle section where it says, "If you have downloaded & upgraded previously with Kies Mini, an automatic update to build 11011_4 may occur." I just started Mini Kies and it updated to 11014_6 so maybe there is something to it.

Someone at Samsung realized people were getting excited again, and the update isn't coming out anytime soon. Just a guess though.

Man...
Still failed install after the download over the air. so i did it through kies mini and it was .ucjh7
I wouldnt have gotten so excited if i paid attention to my notes that i had ucjh7 pre-flash and just "eclair" post factory default reset. Yet somehow still had a glimmer of hope that 2.2 would update after ucjh7, assuming one has to be installed b4 the other/in order. Sort of annoying the link was taken down about the Q/A on 2.2 being available. I just clicked the circle to vote "very dissatisfied" hah
Im still planning to trade mine in for the atrix if its in store by 3/9.. If not, I havent quite decided what other path I will take...

You wouldn't...most custom ROM's don't want Verizon OTA updates. This is basically a re-release of the updated radios (402w_1 and 605.7) so if you've already updated your radios that's basically what you'd be getting from VZW. The question is did they actually do anything to the radios or did they just hold them while they got their LTE/eHRPD issues sorted out (I tend to lean on the latter.)
If you wanna keep root, I wouldn't recommend updating. Let the devs release it.

The leak (if we're talking about jcase's leak) included the ROM where the OTA update doesn't (at least it doesn't appear to at 35 MB.) It does appear to be larger than just the leaked radios themselves (25.37 MB) but they updated a few other things so that probably accounts for the additional 10 MB.
We really aren't going to know anything until the devs tackle the update.zip.
I was recommended by jcase that you either can't or should not apply this update if rooted. Don't quote me though. I can't remember exactly what he said.

Thats completely true.
Do you need root to access the cache folder? Where is it exactly. Can't find it while connected to my computer by USB, or by ES File Explorer.
Could this also incorporate removal of free wifi hotspots? Isn't that ending soon? When I bought my Thunderbolt the rep told me it'd be removed via a software update in May.

Pretty sure that's only for new customers. Existing customers were grandfathered into the free wifi. I might be wrong though. I remember the rep told me something about it too when I got my TB in the mid of April.

Your rep was wrong. Once they figure out how much to charge, the free hotspot will be no more.
Saw on android police a couple of phones that were rooted attempted the update and it didn't go so well. One phone said update failed, another screwed their phone up. I'll wait.
When your rooted, your not supposed to update with OTA's. Wait for the devs to upload it...
OTA's are for squares.

Iif you're running a custom ROM, you'll most likely NOT get an update. The developer will incorporate the changes into the next ROM update.
lol i cant wait im downloading it now and will add root / busybox to it my self
this shouldn't remove the free hotspot verizon will not have to push a update to remove it they can turn it off on the back end just how the turn it on and off if you call them and add the tethering plan

Check your baseband version. If it is like ucke3, then you probably downloaded the uckh1 update that was released ota kinda recently.
Stupid ATT i thought they promised to give an OTA update of gingerbread last month itself but like always you cant trust their words.
Update - I have some software update that is going on right now, wonder what is this all about file is 14542kb which is doubt will be GB

That's UCKH1
anyone now if you loose root ?
Yep, thats the pre-lim update that came a week or so ago (for me anyway) I installed it and actually my InFuse felt a bit speedier but it didn't break my root or anything either. So I'd say go for it (at your own risk of course) mileage may vary.
It's the UCKH1 baseband update and possibly bootloader update aswell.
I tried playing by the rules and using this updated version for about 3 days. Battery life was horrible. I had to switch to my N86 halfway through the day so it could charge V_V I would recommend getting infused. It's so much better than stock. So. Much. Better.

I didn't lose root from the last AT&T push for UCKH1 when I was running the stock ROM.
Hello, I am using Nexus S 2.3.6, from Malaysia.
A few of my Malaysian friends already receive Over The Air update of ICS from Google. However, although I do check for "Settings -> System updates" all the times, I always saw "Your system is currently up to date".
Is there any additional settings I need to do, in order to receive official update from Google? I prefer not to do it manually myself by downloading the ROM.
I believe that Google stop rolling out the ota.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I keep wondering when the ICS OTA update will be released. I'm using an i9020a on at&t and I'm still stuck on the 2.3.4 update. When I got to check for an update it says that the system is up to date, even though most people have 2.3.6 on their NS's.
It's probably quicker and less painful to just download and update to the latest ROM yourself, especially if you're starting to check for system updates on a daily or less-than-daily basis.

Might as well flash one of the many AOSP or CM9 ROMs posted out here to be honest. How fast is AT&T in approving ROM updates?
I'm pretty sure that's part of what's holding it up despite the Canadian 9020As out there...
I've flashed Kalimochoaz's CM9 alphas a few days ago and it works like a charm.

There is a minor update coming....sucks it isn't ICS, but they tend to push out these updates just before a major upgrade...so fingers crossed.

I've kept my phone on its stock ROM and unrooted, and it looks like my waiting finally paid off! Hoping you're right, and that this is a pre-req for the upcoming ICS release. Maybe this will coincide with the T-mo release of the Blaze Q (QWERTY version of the Blaze 4G)?
Also, has this update gone live yet? I'm using WiFi at the moment and so far I get a message saying there isn't an update available from the server
Can someone confirm if I have to be unrooted?

This is why I always flash recovery first and run a backup of stock prior to rooting. I will backup where I am now and check to see if there's anything to this update.
This also kind of confirms that ICS will be coming soon as stated... kinda exciting!

just because u said u don't like touchwiz made me answer this more
to return to unrooted stock you need to use the stock LB7 tar file and the blaze.pit file and Odin back to stock
I beliieve k0nane made a good guide for that on dev forum.
And you can always wait as soon as Kies updates tomorrow with LF4 i'll download and decrypt it and use it for base no my build 5 for dknight which is going to add some awesome stuff on top of the already awesome stuff

Update is live through Kies as of 9am cst. You lose CWM through the update and cannot be rooted.
So will the current CWM and rooting methods be ok to be used again? I hate bloat
How long did it take for the update to work via Kies?
I started the firmware download, and once the download finished Kies kind of.. froze. Didn't see any activity in task manager, phone didn't show anything besides the normal home screen. Disconnected the phone with no ill effects fortunately.
Probably because I'm running Windows 8 release preview.. will try on my other Windows 7 rig
